It commonly happens in a political campaign that any substantial attention given to the significant other of a candidate focuses on the negative. It is easier to bring a candidate down with the negatives of their personal connections than to build them up with the positives.
Cindy McCain, beer-company executive and wife of presidential candidate John McCain, had her tax return released yesterday revealing an income of $4.2 million in the last year and an estimated fortune of around $100 million.
While Cindy McCain chooses to stick to the sidelines of her husbands campaign, any attention given to her by the media portrays her as a trophy wife beer company owner just along for the ride. The focus is on her privileged life and her alleged pain killer addiction in the early 90's.
Lost behind her barbie doll look, seven homes and inherited fortune, there truly is more to Cindy McCain. She has traveled to globe dedicating not only her money, but her time and energy to assist children in need from places like Cambodia to Morocco. She has dedicated her life to her own four children as well as countless other children in need around the world.
While the focus no doubt will continue to be on her inherited fortune from the Phoenix beer distribution company, the 53 year-old Cindy McCain has silently served children around the world with her privileged status, and would surely make humanitarian work a center point of what she does as First Lady if given that chance.
